ATLAS

“Are you going to do something about it?” Ray asks again, seeing how relaxed I was while watching unknown men go into my apartment.

“Nah, let them have their fun.” I returned my attention back to Jade and switched out her towels again. Her temperature was starting to go back to normal now which I was happy about.

I could feel Ray’s eyes on me, questioning me so I looked up and quirked a brow, asking without words, what she want to say. I loved the fact that she was vocal. It is something I have started to see in Jade, who I knew usually bottled things up. There was no need to ask, it is clear as day whose influence that is.

“Don’t you have personal items in there? Maybe something you don’t want anyone to see?”

I shook my head as I wrung out the towel one last time and placed it on Jade’s forehead. I shook my hands away from the bed after I was done.

“No. Nothing important.” I wasn’t stupid to do that. “They are there for one thing, and they’ll find it.”

    JADEI thought I was hallucinating and imagine things when I heard Atlas’s voice. Not just his voice, it has become a thin for me to be hearing him when he is not there. So much, that is barely bothers me anymore. But hearing him and Ray speaking like they have known each other for years. That was what made me think out was a dream because it simply couldn’t be real.My body still felt so weak, but I have to admit that I feel a lot better now than when I’d laid down. When I tried to remember what happened and how I ended up in this bed, nothing came to mind. The last thing I remembered was us getting home from the hospital and me getting out of the car. Everything is blank from there.The Braxton hicks were back again. Andean sent the doctor that has been checking me back at Palm Springs. Apparently, we couldn’t fly there for some reason. I didn’t pay attention to what the reason was as I was in too much pain.I got up, with so much effort, wanting to go ad hear what Atlas and Ray wer

    ATLASI didn’t understand how someone could look so perfect and still steal my breath while frustrating me to no end at the same time. Unless I was a glutton for punishment, I had no reason to be enjoying this so much.Jade was still glaring at me, but I could see it in her eyes that she was going to do as I asked. That was all I was focused on, instead of the fact that she must be tired and still feeling a little weak from all the poison her father has been pumping into her system. I couldn’t even think of why he was doing that.There was no good enough reason for why he would do that. Even if he hates me, which would be news to me until now, I never had a problem with him before, I didn’t know why he would attempt to kill my child.Then what the doctor said can to my mind. About Jade not surviving if she carried full term. I hadn’t trusted her word, of course, she was his doctor, so there was a point for reasonable doubt. Now, I am quote sure that was a load of bull she was feeding m

    JADEI glanced back at Atlas who looked completely normal. Like his apartment was literally going up in flames. He didn’t look worried, or even concerned that if he wasn’t here, he would have bene in there while it was happening.“What is going on?” My voice came out louder than I expected, but it made hum turn to me so I guess it had the desired effect. He had just bee staring straight ahead with the most empty expression I have ever seen on his face yet. And I have seen a lot of his blank expression but nothing like this.“Nothing.” He replied simply. I raised a brow and he shook his head. “Come on.” He stretched his hand out for me to take and I place mine in his without hesitation.It was after I did it that I even took note of the action but it was already too late to back down then.We’d just walk out of the kitchen when we heard the doorbell ring. He placed a finger on his lips, motioning for me to be quiet I don’t think I would have been able to speak even if I had anything to

    JADEThe questions the doctor wanted to ask were routine questions. I’ve been through this multiple times with the other doctor back in Palm Springs, that it pretty much felt like a walk in the park.It doesn’t matter how many times she told Atlas he wasn’t needed there. He refused to leave.“I know you’re a busy man, alpha. Don’t stress yourself.”“I’m good.” The last time hr replied, he sounded extremely irritated I think it scared her into pretending he wasn’t there for the rest of the exam.“Beta Andrew said he is going to come with me to the the results.” I didn’t; know if that was supposed to be question, though it was directed towards Atlas and we both turned to him. He nodded at her. His eyes remming on me.I squirmed under the intensity of his gaze. There was something in his eyes that I could’t explain. Like he had something important to say but a part of me knew he wouldn’t being whatever it is up. The doctor packed up and left with a nod in my direction and an ‘alpha’ to A

    JADE“What… what are you talking about?” I stuttered, my eyes narrowing as I waited for Ray to reply. She didn’t just say what I think she just did. “He didn’t.” She only said, her voice breaking as she shook her head. I took in another deep breath in before exhaling then I looked down. My eyes closing on their on. My head was pounding, like a sledgehammer was taken to my skull over and over again.And Ray looked like she was about to have a mental breakdown. I opened my eyes and hugged her tighter, rocking us together. Even though my mind was running with many possibilities, I knew one thing for sure. Something else was at play here. Something is wrong. She wouldn’t be crying like this if it was nothing. Or if she only lied about the kidnapping. I was worried about one thing. “Ray, are you okay? Did anyone hurt you? If they hurt you, you’ll tell me, right?” Emotion clogs my throat, making my voice breaking. Ray met my eyes, hers bloodshot and teary and she shook her head. “Why

    JADEThe results did come until the next morning. After we’d had dinner, quite late, Ray asked if we wanted to watch a movie. It was her way o saying she would like company without actually uttering the words so I agreed. After all she said, I know there is a lot on her mind and she still isn’t ready to talk about it. Or maybe something is holding her back. It was all too much and my mind was too occupied right now. With the results and what it may hold.Atlas joined us, though I guessed he just wanted to sit there. He wasn’t even watching the movie, his mind was fully on his phone. And I know this because I found myself stealing glances at him more often than not.The elephant in the room was so big, but we all ignored it. And I couldn’t relate what I felt just then to bliss. Because ignoring the problem. Definitely did not make it disappear.Like the fire in the apartment Atlas had been staying in. It was put out, yes. But he had’t even bothered to go back there. It was like he knew

    ATLASI wasn’t a sex addict, not by far. But not being with Jade for just a few days mad eye feel like an addict experiencing withdrawals. And then having her that close, only for us to be interrupted. I could barely focused as I waited for her to come out of the bathroom. And try as I might, I couldn’t get my mind out of the gutter.Imagining her touching herself, fixing the problem we didn’t know was going to be one.Fuck. Couldn’t Ray have picked a better time to interrupt? I groaned in my throat and got up form the bed. The bathroom door opened just as I got up and Jade walked out wearing only a towel, her hair was wet. She took a shower.I didn’t know when I grained loudly. “are you trying to torture me, babe?”She blushed, her entire face turning red before she muttered a small sorry and quickly slipped into the closet. I headed to the bathroom, and the setting was exactly like the one in the apartment I owned. The only difference was the colour, this was light blue and it had s

    JADEHe didn’t have to tell me, I waited until he got dressed and then we walked out together, hand in hand. If it wasn’t for his hand in mine, gently guiding me forward, I don’t I would have been able to walk on my own.And it is not even that. The crippling anxiety at the thought of hearing something bad made me want to burst into tears. Almost like he could hear my thoughts, Atlas squeezed my hand. I looked up and saw he was looking down at me with worried eyes. It became clear then that he might not be able to hear my thoughts but he could feel every one of my emotions. And worry and fear were the most prominent.“You don’t have to do this if you don’t—““I can.” I cut him off even before he finished because I didn’t want to think of anything else. If I say no right now, I’ll never be Abel to say yes. And I owe it to my baby to do the right thing. Which is find out if there will be be any problems and if there will be a solution. “I can do it.”He nods and gives my hand another sq

    JADE“i needed to come see him.”“Why?” He collected the baby from me “I told you that there's no need to. Why do you feel the need to come here even after I told you not to?!”“Because it's not just your victory! It's not just your life that he was after! It's mine too! And it's Ray's too! So yes, I needed to come down here to get closure.”He needed to understand that this meant something to me too, just as it did him.“Closure? Is that why you put the baby at risk? How much more closure do you need?”What on earth was he talking about?“Risk? Incase you didn't notice, I was there with him! I was at risk too! I needed him to look me in the eye and tell me why he did what he did to my family.”“Or maybe it's because you're too hung up on the past and you just can't let go. Incase you havent noticed, you're so stuck in the past and you are obsessing over it. Move on!”Well, I'm glad he finally got to say what he wanted to. Now I know how he feels about me trying to find answers. I w

    JADEI didn't think it was worth it at first. Going to see the man that had made me grow up without parents and without the concept of what a true family felt like.But after much thought, he needed to know that all his plans failed and I was going to rub it in his face..I'd gotten all three pieces of the stone together and wore it around my locket.It would hurt him so bad to see that in the end, I won.Iniko decided that that was the right moment to start crying and everytime I dropped him back in his cot, he cried even louder.“Young man, what is it that you want? You've been fed and burped and I just changed your diaper so there's no way you could have soiled it again -”I stopped and remembered what happened yesterday so I took a peak for myself. There was nothing im his diaper.“So what exactly do you want?”I wish babies could talk.I guess I didn't have any other choice than to take him with me then. Atlas would blow a fuse if he found out that I took his son to see Ford.Whe

    ATLAS“By wasting any more time, we are not doing ourselves any good! Sixth Circle pack is vacant. We have their leader in our custody and I've taken down every opposition in our way, do you think it would be long before we get more interests?”Sometimes, having a cabinet infuriates me so much. It was like I was speaking to brick walls. I didn't see any reason why they couldn't just agree to me taking over the Sixth Circle.It would even be better for us because it would improve our army base, it would make our pack bigger and in general, it would be a plus for us.But they weren't seeing it that way. All they were seeing was the fact that Ford had committed something against the pack and they weren't going to take it.I mean, what better way to teach him a lesson by taking over his pack?“Alpha, we're not disputing the fact that you've gone a long way-”“But you're diminishing my efforts. What's the whole point of defeating him and taking him into custody when I can't even go ahead a

    JADERay and I weren't speaking for now.How could she hide something like that from me?“Where is she?”“I have no idea. All I know is that she ran away when we were little. She knew that he would come after her and she didn't want to put you in danger. So she ran away and left your nanny to take care of you. I don't know where she is.”How could she do this?“Before I lost my memory, did I know?”“No, you never knew.”I couldn't believe this. I lost my appetite for the rest of that day and I just stayed in Iniko's room because I couldn't even speak to anyone right now.I'd spent my life thinking my mother was dead only to hear that she was alive and she ran away because of that beast.“It’s not her fault, you know. Your mother ran away to protect you and Ray didn't tell you because she wanted to keep you safe. You have to forgive her.”I didn't blame her. It wasn't her fault things turned out like this. I was just hurt that I didn't know.Later that day, I took Iniko on a walk so h

    JADEI was just realizing that this baby has Atlas's eyes and hair and everything!“This baby is rigged.”He turned around in shock.“What are you talking about?”“You did something to make the baby look like you.”He laughed and shook his head.“No, I didn't. It's just a coincidence.”“Coincidence? Look at this baby and look at you. It seems like I didn't even have anything to do with his birth.”“Don’t worry, you can have the second baby.”I scoffed.“You think I'm going to let you have another chance to have photocopies? Big joke.”Iniko was so small and he seemed so fragile.Ray brought my food and she took him while I ate.“I wish my grandmother was here to see him.”She gave me a sad smile.“Me too. She would be so proud of you.I'm proud of you.”I'm so happy my sister was here with me. She was the one who had been by my side throughout and if the child had been a girl, I would have named her after Raya.“Thank you for everything you did. If not for you, I don't know how I would

    JADE“I'm going to need your blood as well. Atlas, I promise it won't hurt her. Just a little nick.”He nodded and she dragged the knife across my finger.“Place your finger over the stone and let the blood cover it entirely. Do not take your hand away from the fire.”It was a simple instruction but it seemed so intense.It was almost over. My legs were beginning to feel well and it was getting harder to quiet my screams.“What do we have here?”That voice. He was here.“What are you doing here?”All I had to do was keep my hand over the fire until the stone bled.Ray helped me stand up straight while Atlas and Andrew faced my uncle.“So this was why I came here. How did you do that? How did you call the other stones?”I eventually removed my hand from the fire since we had found them.“I always knew it was with one of you. That stupid old hag told me she couldn't find the other piece but I guess she gave it to you. “Why were all the worst things happening tonight?I was in labor and

    JADEAtlas returned later that evening.I was right with what I'd thought.“What have you been up to?”I knew he knew I'd been eating because of the smirk on his face.“You know you don't have to hide from me when you eat right?”Oh, I did.“If you see how much I eat and the way I eat, I don't think you'd want to be married to me anymore.”He burst out laughing.“What makes you think I care about the way you eat? As long as you're healthy and our baby is fine, I don't care.”“But then, what if I get fat? I'll be so big that I won't be able to eat. I don't know why I eat so much.”This was actually a worry of mine. Normally, I ate but my appetite was not this big.“Blame it on the baby. I figure when you give birth, the cravings will stop and even though you do get fat, you're still my wife. It doesn't change anything.”I was really married to the best man ever, wasn't I?“You’re the best.”“I know. Ray says that we have to get there before midnight so that she can prepare everything.

    JADEAt this point, I was realizing that the earlier we did things, the better.“I’ll arrange for the sacrifice to happen tomorrow. We need to move as fast as we can before he gets Intel that were here.”I didn't want to have to run with this big belly of mine.“What are you going to need?”“Don’t worry, I'll take care of it. Just bring the stone.”We went to bed that night because we were all completely exhausted.“Hey, are you okay?” Atlas asked when we were in bed.“Yes, I am. Why do you ask?”“You didn't cry when you found out that he killed your father. You didn't cry when you found out that she was not your grandmother. I'm worried.”Now that I think about it, it's true. But it was because I didn't feel like crying.“I don't know. Maybe my body just hasn't proceses it yet. Maybe its because I hate him so I'm not bothered that he's not my father and I never really knew my father so i can't cry for him. I've already mourned for my grandmother.”I just didn't feel the need to cry b

    JADE“Jade, step away from that.”I walked back towards them and stared at the pile.“What kind of animal would do this?”I had no idea but I think I was beginning to understand why she wanted us to find this place.This place held secrets.I went back to the wall to look at the drawings and try to understand them.I used my fingers to trace them again and this time around, I heard the voice clearer.“Look at the bigger picture.”I stepped away from the wall so I could see the entire thing. There were more drawings to the side and when I walked up, I noticed that there was a sign at the bottom of it.That sign…looked all too familiar but I couldn't just place my finger.“Ray, come see this. I've seen this before but I don't know where it's from.”She crouched beside me and stared at it for a moment.“I know it's familiar but I don't know where it's from, either.”Andrew and Atlas joined us and just within seconds, they knew.“We know.”They shared a look and it made me scared.“Jade,
